  • Patent number: 12206456
    Abstract: A wavelength multiplexing communication system includes a master station apparatus and a plurality of slave station apparatuses. The master station apparatus includes a wavelength multiplexing communication unit. The wavelength multiplexing communication unit performs wavelength multiplexing communication with the plurality of slave station apparatuses by using optical signals having the number of wavelengths equal to or less than the number of the plurality of slave station apparatuses. The slave station apparatus includes an optical communication unit. When the main signal communication is performed in the host slave station apparatus, the optical communication unit communicates with the master station apparatus by an optical signal having the same wavelength as a wavelength used by another slave station apparatus in which a main signal notification is not performed.
